Summary
Sir Guy of Gisbourne is back!
Bent on vengeance against Robin Hood and with a turncoat new lieutenant in tow, an unlikely new hero must stand up for herself....
Yorkshire, England - AD 1323
The greenwood has been quiet, and the outlaws have become complacent, but the harsh reality of life is about to hit the companions with brutal, deadly force, thanks to their old foe, Prior John de Monte Martini.
From a meeting with King Edward II himself to the sheriff's tournament with its glittering prize, the final, fatal, showdown fast approaches for the legendary Wolf's Head.
New friends, shattered loyalties, and a hate-fueled hunter who threatens to wipe out not only Robin's companions but his entire family will all play their part in the Rise of the Wolf.

Another excellent offering from Steven McKay. He has a very engaging way of telling a story so it never drags or gets boring. The tale holds one's attention to the end.
Descriptions are vivid and graphic yet most likely accurate to the period. One really gets the feeling one is there with the characters. The story also gives a sharp impression impression what it must have been like in those times.
Let me not say anymore. Read it for yourself !!!

Enjoyable historical romp.
This is the third book in the series I have listened to. They are enjoyable historical fiction that seems to be quite well researched and the storyline flows together well developing the characters to make them credible and entices you to follow their life stories. The narrator is good and I am relieved that after the first two books he has learned to pronounce foliage properly. In novels that are based in and around forests, the word pops up more often than you would think. I find the silences that have now been introduced at the end of each chapter annoying. More than once I have found myself checking Bluetooth connections or rewinding only to find the narrator has obviously gone for another fag break All in all a good read and I have already ordered the 4th book in what was to be a trilogy.

This is a faithful capture of the Robin Hood legend. The characters are fantastic. It's brilliantly paced, too. I laughed and cried, and couldn't put it down.

Legend comes to life
I usually like my heroes to be real people and my novels based, however loosely, on fact. However, this series has had me hooked from the first paragraph of book one, to the last word in this, the third of the series of four.
Robin Hood and his band of outlaws are a surprisingly likeable bunch of human beings, you can feel for the characters, and find yourself rooting for them when faced with authority, which, to me, is a sign of excellent workmanship by the author.
For me the series contains the perfect balance of action, intrigue and just a little romance. Perfection.
I really cannot wait for book four, although I feel a little sad that it will be the last.
I would recommend this book to any reader who enjoys historical novels, be it Roman, Egyptian, etc. I came out of my comfort zone and was very pleasantly surprised. You will be too.

This could've done with some better editing around chapter endings and the pauses between paragraphs. I didn't buy this for asmr mouth sounds.

Bloody good show
Thoroughly enjoyed the performance. This series reminds me a lot of the Sharpe series, in that it's a well characterised romp through pseudo history that you know the hero will be alright in the end. Relaxing and fun listen with great action.
